It is the first time we have confirmation that Cuckoo was the single Adam wanted to release and was overruled? I don't remember if he said that in interviews before. It was so long ago LOL. He talked about the pronoun changes many times but that the label changed the single? We discussed it for years in the fandom that Cuckoo should have been released as a single. And after that they insisted on him making a cover album. I'm glad Adam was that brave as to part ways with them. I believe it is the first time he has said it. Cuckoo is not my fav track on the album but it was "my pick" for the lead single. It was a long time ago but I am glad that Adam thought so too.
It was a far more "Adam" track.

Artists and label management often don't agree on promoted single selection and the label almost always has the contractual right to pick the singles.

I have very mixed feelings about a lot of things regarding Adam. I love him to bits but I agree his AMA performance was a self inflicted wound that set him back in ways we will never know for sure. I have always felt that had he stood there on stage and belted out a great song that showcased his voice he would have blown the audience away. Instead he actually confronted them which turned them off. I know he said he wanted to shock them in a way that said he'd had enough with the gay gay gay stuff from the media but instead he turned off some of his fans. I have stuck with him because I admire him as a talent and a person besides him being absolutely gorgeous, I just wish he had come off the AMA's with the wind at his sails instead of controversy in his face!!! ETA: It did get him talked about but it hurt him with radio and TV.  Not to reopen old topics -- but Adam has massive radio support for WWFM which was released immediately after the AMA. Even the most conservative pop radio station in Tupelo, MS (which was where the organization that ran the anti-Adam FCC campaign is headquartered) had it inb the their top 10 at one point.
It did hurt him on TV.
Nine years later, I think the AMA performance is one thing that has been helpful for Adam in many ways and gave him some credibility. Without it, he would have been the gay guy from Idol.
